How to Create a Galvanized Christmas Clipboard

Galvanized is the hottest trend in farmhouse decor these days. So it makes perfect sense to use that same popular surface for a holiday craft. In today's tutorial, Jen Gallacher will walk you through the steps for creating a Galvanized Christmas Clipboard using one of our newest Mix the Media surfaces and one of our Christmas Silhouette die cut shapes. In addition, she features a charming mini wreath from our sister company Concord Road, which sells vintage and unique home decor products. Keep reading for the full tutorial, including the how-to video!

Step 2: Select a Christmas cut file from our Silhouette store HERE. Jen chose the 'Tis the Season cut file available HERE. When cutting out the image, she removed the holly images and only cut out the phrase.

Step 3: Weed the cut file so that only the phrase is left on the vinyl backing.

Step 4: Use transfer tape to remove the cut file from the backing and onto the bottom of the vinyl. Use the lines in the tape to align the phrase perfectly. Rub the vinyl into the galvanized clipboard surface and remove the tape. Save the tape for another project. It's usually good for a few uses.

Step 5: Use the clip to attach the mini wreath to the clipboard. You can also use hot glue to attach the wreath as well.
